Durance is a term used to describe the period of slavery that the changeling endured in Faerie at the mercy of their Keepers.
A Durance was a type of Forerunner memory storage device. Upon the death of a Forerunner, the individual's last memories and mental patterns were stored inside a Durance. The Durance and a bit of plasma from the immolation of the body were then presented to the closest family members of the deceased. Durances had a half-life of a million years. Their resting places were closely guarded by the family, such that the violation of a Durance was considered sacrilege. The Durance of The Librarian appears in Halo 4 and speaks to John-117 about the Ur-Didact and his plans.
